Our Take

The Comet Is Coming's latest album, "The Afterlife," is a mind-bending journey through the cosmos of sound that will leave you questioning your own existence.

From the moment the opening track, "All That Matters Is the Moments," kicks in, you're transported to a futuristic dance floor on Neptune, grooving to the funky beats and otherworldly saxophone solos.

The trio's fusion of jazz, electronica, and psychedelia creates a genre-defying sonic landscape that feels simultaneously familiar and completely alien. It's like Sun Ra and Aphex Twin had a baby, and that baby decided to start a band with Kamasi Washington.

Songs like "The Universe Wakes Up" and "The Seven Planetary Heavens" showcase the group's improvisational skills, with each member bringing their own unique energy to the mix. Drummer Betamax Killer lays down a pulsating rhythm that drives the music forward, while keyboardist Danalogue The Conqueror adds layers of ethereal synth textures that transport you to another dimension.

And then there's saxophonist King Shabaka, whose horn lines soar and swirl like a comet hurtling through space, pulling you along for the ride.

"The Afterlife" is a testament to the boundless creativity and adventurous spirit of The Comet Is Coming. So sit back, relax, and let the music take you on a cosmic journey like no other. Trust us, you won't regret it.
